How to get started in writing

So many people are getting into writing books. Some people have stories to tell about their lives like a memoir, others simple want to write a novel. So when getting started with writing books the first question a person asks is "How do I get started in writing"
First ask yourself, have you ever had any experience in writing? If not, you need to take some writing classes. There are plenty of free online writing classes or you can look in your community for them.

If you do have experience in writing then the next step is to decide what type of book you want to write. Not all writers can write in any genre. My genre is inspirational; christian fiction. I can not write a mystery/suspense novel or a romance novel. That's not my genre. So you have to decide what genre you can write and go from there.
Once you've decided on the genre you need to decide what the book will be about. Build a storyline, get some characters. Then you are on the right path to getting started in writing book.
